Rowan,
I want one, I really do.

Just did a quick Google search and can't find a retail outlet for the Platz compass. Any suggestions for this side of the pond?

Now that's sure is strange, unless it's so that they don't become a unwilling distributor.

I can see myself getting one of these to cut masks for wheels. I have the Olfa tool but it's only really good for large 1 /32 rims.

I can't find any retail outlet that sells the Platz cutter here in the USA. Ordering one from Japan makes little sense as the shipping would be more then the compass, so I opted to order a Olfa cutting compass from a national arts and crafts chain.
